Ashleigh-Education Journeydesigned a super creative activity for children to understand area and perimeter!Children are given a top secret mission from NASA to construct a robot to land on the moon. The measurements of perimeter and area have to be exact, in order for the robot to complete his mission.Kids build their robots out of grid paper, using "predetermined perimeters and areas of each body part."Visit her TPT store to buy printables to go along with the activity!
